We love our community, come and not be alone...with us! 💕🍷🍻
Right.
Apparently, pubs are “too expensive.” 😬🥵💰
I hear it every day. 🤯
Usually from someone clutching a £6 artisan coffee, scrolling TikTok on a £1,200 phone, while explaining how £5 for a pint is daylight robbery. 💎
But sure. The pub is the problem. 👌
Let me explain this slowly…
You’re not paying £5 for “beer”! 🍺
You’re paying for an experience, for a community, for…
💸 The heating being on before you arrive.
💸 The lights staying on after you leave.
💸 The loos being scrubbed (you’re welcome).
💸 The glasses being washed.
💸 The staff being paid.
💸 The licences. The insurance. The rates. The tax.
💸 The little bite the card machine takes every single time you tap.
💸 And the fact that when the floods at 11pm on a Tuesday… it’s me in wellies.
You’re not just buying a drink. 🍷
You’re renting a space to exist in public without being moved on. To socialise. To make friends. To feel welcome. To belong. ❤️
Go and sit in the middle of ASDA for three hours debating VAR and see how long that lasts. Try getting banter from a self-checkout. 😅
Pubs aren’t competing with supermarket booze. 🛒
We’re competing with the idea that community should be free. 🏘️❤️
And here’s the bit I find fascinating…
The same people who mourn “the death of the British pub” are the ones who treat us like overpriced off-licences. 🍾
We don’t sell beer. 🍺
We sell:
👉 First dates that turned into marriages.
👉 Wakes where the real stories came out.
👉 “Ok, just one” that became the best night of the year.
👉 Somewhere to decompress when the world’s had enough of you and you’ve had enough of the world.
We sell a place to not be alone. 🫂
If you want cheap: stay on your sofa with a four-pack of lukewarm cans 🛋️🥵🍻
But PLEASE don’t confuse low cost with value! 🤷♂️
Anyway, I’ll be over here - overcharging for heating, chairs, and human interaction. 🔥🪑🤗
Tag a mate who needs to stop being a tight-arse and buy a round! You know the one. 😂👇
